*UPDATED APRIL 28TH, 2019*(I originally created this Teacher Input Questionnaire in 2014. Since then, I have included a Google Form and I have been tweaking it for my classroom use and I am finally uploading the updated form for all of you!)Preparing for an IEP report or any other evaluation report can be quite stressful and incredibly time consuming. Although I can’t make it easier for you – trust me I wish I could :) , I can at least provide you with a little bit of help when having to ask

Preparing for an IEP report or any other evaluation report can be quite stressful and incredibly time consuming. Although I can’t make it easier for you – trust me I wish I could :), I can at least provide you with a little bit of help when having to ask for parent input! In my first few years of teaching, I realized that asking for input from my students’ parents/guardians was at times difficult. Sometimes I would get too much information, and other times I wouldn’t get enough at all. I crea

All of my input questionnaires for IEPs and Evaluation Reports in one spot! Google Forms are included with each input questionnaire. If you are new to using Google Forms I have provided easy to follow Google Form instructions. The time it takes to create and set-up a Google Form (and it's collection spreadsheet) I have done for you! ...because let's be real, as teachers we need all the extra time we can get. You will be receiving these as a secured PDF and as a Google Form.If you have any quest

12/3/2020: Updated with links to Google SlideMy middle school/high school students are just as excited about Christmas as the students I had when I taught in an elementary. They all love the Christmas hoopla leading up until their break! Reindeer Games are actives for middle school students+ to enjoy! The activities are similar to ones they loved completing in elementary school, but a little more challenging and age appropriate... because my students don't believe they are kids anymore;) What'

***UPDATED 9/6/2018***A COMPLETELY EDITABLE PowerPoint file is now included. I’m approaching my 12th year of teaching this upcoming, 2018-2019 school year. I’ve planned a lot of lessons, in both the pull-out and inclusion settings - in grades K-12 learning support and emotional support. Some days a lesson I planned for didn’t get covered – or even started. Some weeks my plans look liked the week’s before. BUT – that’s special education. We adapt our plans not only daily, but sometimes by the

*HUGE UPDATE: May 2nd, 2019*I'm not quite convinced that many high school students know exactly what they want to do after high school graduation, let alone students of the middle school age. Gathering IEP transition information for a student just turning 14, or even of actual transition age, can be difficult. Luckily, this survey helps with just that! This Student Transition Input Questionnaire is an IEP transition survey - for students of transition age. It is an informal survey/input questi

I’m on my 12th year teaching this 2018-2019 school year, and on my 8th year as a special education co-teacher. I’ve planned a lot of lessons, in both the pull-out and inclusion settings - in grades K-12 learning support and emotional support. As a special education co-teacher planning was always a little different. I needed to plan with the general education teacher. I needed to decide who would be responsible for what, as well as what I had to prepare and bring to the class. The general edu

I love having my students share their resolutions for the new year with me! I decided to make a "welcome back" packet that allowed them to do just that, plus a little more. This is perfect for the first few days back from the holiday break - for students AND their teachers!

Once students turn 14 they are invited to their IEP meeting and take on more of an active/vocal role. They also start planning for their life after high school - otherwise known as transition. However, when I was an elementary learning support teacher, I felt like my students should have a voice in their IEP planning process, as well as start thinking about what they want to do/become when they are older. Yes, I did this even with third graders. Since my time as a learning support elementary t

*UPDATED 9/1/2019*NOW EDITABLE!It has taken me awhile, but I have FINALLY created IEP progress monitoring binders in hopes to help special education teachers stay better organized during the end of each school day, week, trimester, or quarter, while completing students’ data collecting. Perfect for IEP goals and objectives tracking. In each binder there are teacher recording sheets for each goal being monitored daily, weekly, by trimester, and by quarter, AND I have also added graphs that allow

T-D-A. My learning support students would cringe when I said those three letters during ELA. Honestly, I would too! Having them read, and then re-read, and then make connections, and then state their claim, and then support their claim, and then turn all of that into a written response. Yikes! I didn't want my learning support students, or even the other students in the ELA room I co-teach in, to become discouraged and give up before they started - when having to answer a Text Dependent Analy

UPDATED 8/30/2020: Now includes editable options in PowerPointOn any given day I can have several students sent to my learning support classroom (the resource room), to complete a test, homework they've missed, a project that needs worked on, notes from the day before, etc, from their regular education class. I can be helping a few different grades, in a few different subject areas, at once. It can be pretty overwhelming. I created my 'Resource Room Check-In' to help me with just that! 'Resour

As special education teachers we know how much time and paperwork is involved with each student. It can not only be overwhelming for teachers, but also for the parents!

UPDATED 5/1/2020: Now includes link to Google Slides for digital use. I completely swoon over anchor charts I see teachers have in their classroom. It's like teacher artwork - haha, but they just aren't practical in my learning support classroom. Sure, I leave up charts and posters that benefit, in some way or another, all students who come to my learning support classroom, but sometimes I need for each of my students to have what anchor charts offer. At the beginning of this school year, I sta
